CHILDREN as young as nine, influenced by 'pornstar chic', are asking for vaginal cosmetic surgery on the NHS, a British Medical Journal Open study shows.

'Designer vaginas' are being requested by children as young as nine []

An incredible 343 labiaplasties were performed on girls aged 14 or younger over the last six years, the journal reveals.

There has been a huge surge of cosmetic labiaplasty – which reduces the size of labia – in recent years and
cosmetic surgeons have reported a rise in requests of 'designer vaginas' modeled on Playboy bunnies and pornstars.

The Department of Health says it only carries out the procedure for clinical reasons, such as on those with vaginal injuries.

However, researchers from University College Hospital, London, suggest the number of operations is far higher than those needed for medical reasons only.
